AB  - The  vertical  sleeve  gastrectomy  is  an  accepted  primary  or  staged  bariatric  procedure  with  indications  that  follow  current  National  Institutes  of  Health  guidelines.  Body  mass  index  of  greater  than  40  kg/m2  or  greater  than  35  kg/m2  with  significant  comorbid  conditions  related  to  obesity  as  well  as  failure  of  conservative  medical  management  needs  to  be  documented.  Other  common  requirements  include  medical,  dietary,  and  psychological  evaluations  and  a  history  of  past  attempts  at  medical  weight  management.  Informed  consent  should  include  a  dietary  and  behavioral  modification  educational  program  to  ensure  that  patients  are  aware  of  how  the  operation  will  impact  their  ability  to  eat  and  provide  strategies  for  lifetime  success.  Sleeve  gastrectomy  may  be  chosen  over  other  bariatric  procedures  for  its  minimal  malabsorption  due  to  normal  gastrointestinal  continuity,  including  access  to  the  duodenum;  its  lower  risk  of  marginal  ulceration;  and  patient  preference.  Relative  contraindications  include  severe  gastroesophageal  reflux  disease.
